Ripple Hotels in Pingyao

Great place in Pingyao. It is reasonably priced, a bit out of the very center (meaning also out of tourists crowds that can be quite noisy in the evenings and mornings), but still close, has same old-style design as the more popular and well-established places that cater to foreigners, but priced twice as much. Pick-up and drop off service is provided - just contact the hotel in advance via phone using the reception of tour previous hotel - no one speaks English - it will solve your communication issue if you do not speak Chinese. At the place itself everyone is very eager to help - use your phone app to translate. Onwer helped me to buy tickets to Pingyao attractions and Terracota Army as I was heading to Xian next (available only through WeChat Pay that is in turn is not availablefor foreign tourists as of April 2023). If you go to Shuanglin temple, be sure to ask to buy tickets through WeChat for you as well. I was able to buy physical one by pure compassion of local guard who asked the staff to open ticket office just for me (Probably was the only foreigner in Pingyao at a time). Please also note that as of April 2023, the reconstruction works in the historical city parts are continuing, so, large chunks of the city within the walls are not looking as great as it could have been. The very center of the city is mostly untouched though and you can still come and explore. If going in spring, be prepared for the temperature swings. I got a temperature drop from 28C to 3C within 2 days by the moment I got to Pingyao. It was even snowing at night.

The room environment is very good, very clean and tidy, the price is very favorable and the boss is very enthusiastic to provide us with help. It is a very good accommodation experience. I wish the boss a prosperous business!

Really love the hotel’s a**osphere. It is cool both scenery and weather. There aren’t much noice and people around the hotel, a little walk and you will reach some of the tourist’s attraction. Some employees can speak english or if not, wechat is the best help. They also booked taxi and drop us off by the taxi, the service was wonderful. Will stay here again if there’s a chance of visiting.

During the National Day holiday, my wife and I took our daughter to the ancient city of Pingyao and stayed at the Yunjincheng Mansion. Our experience was as follows: First, the layout of the mansion is very good, with an antique look and history. It is very suitable for taking pictures. Second, the location of the residence is very good. It is on West Street in the ancient city, very close to the famous tourist attraction Rishengchang, and not too far from the Internet celebrity Hongwuji Hotel, Tianyuankui Hotel, and Liang Xiansen Yogurt. Third, the staff at the residence are very enthusiastic and responsive to requests. Just as Butler Ning said, ”Coming to us is just like going home.” We felt warm in our hearts. We also added WeChat in advance to inquire about needs and inform precautions. Because we were driving by ourselves, and considering the difficulty of parking in the ancient city due to the crowds during the National Day, we took the initiative to help find parking spaces. Fourth, the hotel has complete facilities and is clean and hygienic. Although the breakfast is not that rich, it tastes good. Next time I come to Pingyao, I will continue to choose to stay in Yunjincheng.

When you come to Pingyao, you must stay in the old courtyard, the big earthen kang, the former residence of the old shopkeeper. I am honored to have chosen the old house. The environment is very good, the service is particularly good, there are many foreign friends, the location is very close to the parking lot, and it is very convenient to drive by car. It takes only five minutes to walk to see Pingyao again. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

The environment here is pretty good. The boss is also very polite. The key is to be familiar with the environment. I know everything you ask. It can save a lot of trouble.

Arrived in the early morning, the boss came to Xiaonanmen to pick us up, the room was warm, the air conditioner was turned on in advance, it was clean and sanitary, disposable supplies were complete, it was close to Wumiao County Government, the boss also had a small electric car to borrow, on the night of the 30th the boss specially sent fruits and snacks, and when I left the store the boss also sent 2 bottles of vinegar, it was a pity that I left in a hurry, if I waited until the first day of the new year to have the annual meeting, it would be more lively, in general, I was quite satisfied

The room is not big, but it is very unique. It is a renovation of a historical building. The main thing is to feel the stay. The hotel is in the scenic area. The car needs to be parked in the large parking lot. If you don't have much luggage, you can walk to the hotel. If you have luggage, the hotel will send a small electric donkey to pick it up. I would like to mention the hotel's restaurant in particular. The decoration and dishes are very unique. It is a rare meal.
